Oh my goodness TheOtherMe!  That is simply terrifying!  That's why I'm glad we have dogs again.  My boy is very protective, and I expect if anyone entered the house he'd go after them, because he's claimed us as "his" humans.

TheOtheMe that was so awful I didn't have words last night. I still don't this morning.

Good Morning Kids!  It is COLD here.  The last couple of mornings I've actually sent DS to work wearing a Winter jacket.  It hit freezing this morning.

Hello peeps! I am the star of my own horror show: "The Backyard Attacks!"

I am on a steroid med thanks to a rash from something I came in contact with while working out there.  I have gardening sleeves arriving and will be using them from now on, along with gloves. Hopefully this will help.

I used to babysit my great nephew and niece.  They had a dog and figured the same thing.  

We get home one day and as we walk in to garage, nephew sees the back door to the garage is open.  We get inside and the house has been ransacked.  

Apparently the dogs did nothing.  They were both fine as if nothing had happened.

TheOtherMe , I have a friend who lived off of 9th St. in Boulder in the 1980s.  Her house was broken into too, and she said the same thing, she knew something was off.  Then she found some of her jewelry was missing.  That sixth sense is a strange thing. 

When I called the police, I started off with something just doesn't feel right....   They knew this had been happening and immediately said an officer was on the way.

   Ouch!  I hope whatever attacked you, that you heal up quickly.  We had a fire ant problem in our backyard when we were living "down South".  The few times they got DH, they were like little ninjas.  We never did figure out where their nest was, because we had more than one variety of ants on the property.

I think this was an attack of the plant variety, not the multi-legged variety. I am starting to look better.

     Me neither.  But then, I'm never really ready for Winter.  I just tolerate it, and spend most of my time indoors until Spring.

Good morning peeps! Got the back yard mowed (edged it yesterday) and so far, no attacks from the yard. The rash I have is getting better.

I picked up a vanilla pound cake this morning. We got some French salted caramel sauce at Costco this weekend, and I think those two together would be a nice dessert.

Sounds like a good lunch to me

I wish. I am sticking with soups and salads mostly. I am meeting a friend post-race Sunday for deep fried turkey at Cracker Barrel.

Good Afternoon Kids!  I went to the grocery store before lunch, and was surprised how thin the supplies were in the baking aisle.  Maybe everyone is buying ahead for Thanksgiving?     I at least got my dark brown sugar, which I needed the most.  


Another dark, gloomy, cold day here.  Yes, it's dry here, but it's been dark so much the last several days that I would welcome some sunshine.  

[TheOtherMe]

Dark and gloomy here, too.  It's just started raining.
